Trichoepitheliomas contain somatic mutations in the overexpressed PTCH gene: support for a gatekeeper mechanism in skin tumorigenesis.

Cancer research - 1 Nov 1997

Vorechovský I, Undén A B, Sandstedt B, Toftgård R, Ståhle-Bäckdahl M

Abstract excerpt

The nevoid basal cell carcinoma (Gorlin) syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple developmental defects and cancer susceptibility. NBCCS is caused by mutations in the human homologue (PTCH) of the Drosophila patched gene, a developmental regulator implicated in...
